Waxing eyebrows

How soon before the wedding should the eyebrows be waxed. I want them to look perfect for pictures.

TIA

Re: Waxing eyebrows

Depends if you get them waxed often or not. I'd do a trial earlier, even now if you want, and keep careful watch on how long it takes for the redness and swelling (that some people get) to go down. I get mine done fairly often and that stuff is gone by the next day for me but I'm still getting them done 3 days beforehand, not the day before.

I would go 3 - 5 days before. And I agree if you normally dont get them waxed go and test it out first to make sure you dont have any type of reaction.

Ditto...I usually wait until they're running amuck...I would say to get them done about three days before.

MY nail place now advertises wax for sensitive skin. I don't know if this really makes a difference or not but it wouldn't hurt to ask.

Re: Waxing eyebrows

definately do it as many days before as you can!! FMIL just waxed her upper lip... which she does all the time, but for some reason, part of her skin got ripped off... not pretty!!

Im going Wednesday, and the wedding is Saturday... its good to give them a few days for the swelling/ pinkness to go away

Re: Waxing eyebrows

don't have them waxed. You should have them plucked. It will irritate you less and it is also more precise.

Re: Waxing eyebrows

I was thinking about this too recently. Do a test before. I usually break out around the waxed area about 3 days after the waxing and obviously don't want that before my weding so I will do it about a week before or whatever my next test dictates.
